Family Search

Re: Family Search

This is only to pass on information that I picked upin search of another line; I have no other info onthe Veltrup families in/near Emsdetten.

Willhelm Heinrich Veltrup, son of Johann Hermann Veltrup& Anna Margareth Roht (Roth) of/near Emsdetten, Westphalia,Germany, was March 9, 1798 at St. Pankratius Catholic Church, Emsdetten, Westphalia, Germany (LDS Microfilm864358. Willhelm married Maria Gertrude Berkemeier whowas born in Greven, Westphalia, Germany. Maria inheritedher family farm and Willhelm took the farm name as wasthe tradition of many European countries at the time.

Perhaps this info may help or provide guidance to theresearch of the Veltrup family.
